Dr Fitzpatrick is a Chartered engineer and lecturer at the University of East Anglia teaching electrical and electronic engineering with a research interest in Biomedical Engineering. His primary research interest is in the use of Functional Electrical Simulation (FES) for the restoration of bladder function and restoration of gait in stroke and spinal cord injured patients. His research focuses on the design and development of custom designed implantable electrodes. His recent book, Analogue Design and Simulation using OrCAD Capture and PSpice, published by Elsevier, has sold worldwide to highly acclaimed reviews in numerous prestigious electronic engineering journals including EDN and Electronic Times, the book being officially endorsed by Cadence Design Systems.

Dr Fitzpatrick has published other books in the field of Biomedical Engineering and is the Series editor for the Developments in Biomedical Engineering and Bioelectronics book series by Elsevier.
